[Part 3] Download torrent & newsserver packages

[Fred]

It should be in /etc/couchpotato/logs/

For SickBeard: /etc/sickbeard/logs

How did you install the packages, using the guide or through XBian-config (XBMC or shell?)?
Also after installing did you wait long enough before rebooting so the packages got enough time to initialize?

The problem with the download speed, for testing purposes can you try downloading directly to the SD card instead of the USB disk to see if that solves it?
